how does the display refresh time (20/30/whatever ms) affect metering accuracy in your audio (sequencer) software? is there also a smearing effect like there is with fast games (first person shooters). if you set your meters to catch peaks does it then mutate to showing rms values?!? ;) since...

hi, i´m finally about to begin with building of my recording studio in the outbuilding on our property. the building is 13,5 by 4,5 metres and will be internally seperated in two equal halves for live and control room - by room within room constructions. in fact the outbuilding doesn´t have a...

hi guys, i understand the principle of sound isolation and that this only comes with air tight sealing, but does this mean i can´t even put a single nail or screw in any wall of my control/live room? does everything have to be just glued to the wall? (is this even possible?) does this change...
